Places I've liked:
Crossroads Cafe - JTree
Moab Diner
Hilltop/Fox Roadhouse - Fairbanks AK

A nice cold Alaskan or Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is always good too...

Thai. Mmmm, green curry.

Or Vietnamese works well. I prefer bun (vermicelli) but my friends usually drag me to a soup (pho) only place. I manage to suffer thru it.

This is a before climbing place.

When we'd leave at night for Joe's, Triassic, or the Price Area for a saturday morning session we'd generally pound a "Shadow Fighter Combo" at the Little Acorn at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. Great burgers, thumb fat fries (insert homer drool-moan). Didn't make us better climbers but it definitely made us happy. Too bad there isn't one of these guys in Orangeville.

This is a complicated question as it is dependant upon WHERE I have been climbing. I have specific places for different crags.

SoCal:
Williamson Rock or Horse Flats: Gotta eat at Newcomb's Ranch on the way home.. SOOOOO good.

Malibu Creek: Sharky's! (think la salsa)

Echo Cliffs or surrounding: La Salsa followed by Cold Stone.

Vegas:
Red Rocks or Mt. Charleston: it is all about the Thai place on Rainbow at Washington. Also, there are a good number of great sushi places, namely Sushi Fever on w. Saharah at Buffalo.

Mt Potosi: for some reason i only go to expensive places like Claim Jumper or Bertolini's afterward... I blame Ethan.

Bishop Areas: Las Palmas, nothing beats one of their huge burritos and a corona. Imperial Gormet is acceptable on a rare occasion as well.

New York Areas (ie the Gunks): employ the meal plan at my school, cuz when i'm here i'm fucking poor.

WORD.

Easy - Mirch Masala. My old roommate turned me on to the best Indian food in Colorado Springs.

In the strip mall on the corner of union and academy.

Amen to Hooty's but we dug on their nachos. I thought Schoolhouse was trying to sell?? Maybe they are closed for the off-season? Don't know, I've moved out of WI since the fall but that's what I remember from last summer.

Ponderosa Lodge near the Needles in California. Great steaks and salad bar.

Hmm...I ate there this summer while visiting the Needles. Can't even remember what I had, other than that it was mediocre and overpriced. It wasn't a steak though. I do remember the salad bar looked fairly pathetic.

On the other hand, there's nowhere else to eat out within an hour's drive. Next time I hit the Needles, though, I'll just stay in camp.


My favorites include Ed's Cantina in Estes Park (good margs), Illegal Pete's in Boulder, Moab Brewery when in Moab (for the weekday dime wings, mostly, but their beer is actually pretty good for being 3.2).

In the North Rim campground, beer seems to taste reeaally good on the picnic tables, and seriously, the Conoco station in Hotchkiss (on the way back from the Black) has the world's best milkshakes!

Tacos Jalisco will make it hard for me to ever leave Truckee. Best Mexican food I've ever had in the states. About a year or so ago the owners got busted for running a cock fighting ring at night.. I guess we know were the chicken, uh, rooster comes from. I stick to the fish there now after reading about that in the paper. For you guys that like the jalisco and live in this area, Check out Betos down in Reno, damn good. Same Jalisco region style mexican and cheaper.
Down in Bishop, Las Palmas does the trick. The have some good adobada tacos. After a good day in the mountains though, nothing beats the Western Kitchen. Where else in the world can you get pad thai with a side of mashed patatoes and wash it down with a bottle of bud.
A few of my other favorites:
The Mobile, Tioga Pass
The Whitney cafe (Ithink that's what it's called) The burger joint at the road heading up to whitney portal.
I'm starting to get to hungry to continue, I got to end this post.
Cheers
